Dear Ecclesia, Would you believe that the 'latter days' are still in the future? How do the words of the king fit into your view? (KJV) Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. (Young) Matthew 16:27 `For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work. (KJV) Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Surely you are familiar with the fulfilled view of eschatology. I am curious as to why you may not believe that the kingdom of God is in effect today.
quote: Originally posted by legalbear I am of the opinion that we are in the last days of the latter days. I think the "last days" started when Jahshuwah came on the scene as a man and have continued for the last 2000 or so years. In Acts 2: quote: 14But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be [explained] to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say.
15For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only] the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day;
16But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17And it shall come to pass in the last days, Jahuwah declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams.
The "last days of the latter days"? This quote speaks to what I wonder about. I am thinking that Judgement is still occuring on this planet for those not in the Body. Still the 'last days' done came and went with the destruction of the Jews and their Temple.
quote: Originally posted by legalbear I am also of the opinion that the latter days also have to do with the scattering of Judah and what remained of Israel in 70 AD based on Deut. 4:
quote: 27And Jahuwah will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations to which Jahuwah will drive you.
28There you will serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
29But if from there you will seek (inquire for and require as necessity) Jahuwah your Mighty Creator, you will find Him if you [truly] seek Him with all your heart [and mind] and soul and life.
30When you are in tribulation and all these things come upon you, in the latter days you will turn to Jahuwah your Mighty Creator and be obedient to His voice.
God' holy people were scattered for their disobedience. Jeremiah 3:8 "Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel [10 northern scattered tribes] had committed adultery, I had put Her away and given Her a certificate of divorce; yet her Treacherous Sister Judah [2 southern tribes] did not fear, but went and played the Harlot also. Ezek 36:18 "Therefore, I poured out My wrath on them for the blood which they had shed on the land, because they had defiled it with their idols. Ezek 36:19 "Also I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the lands. According to their ways and their deeds I judged them. Ezek 36:20 "When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, 'These are the people of the LORD; yet they have come out of His land.' Ezek 36:21 "But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went. 22 "Therefore, say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. Ezek 37:21 "And say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; Ezek 37:22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. Ezek 36:24 "For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land. Ezek 36:25 "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Ezek 36:26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new SPIRIT within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Ezek 36:27 "And I will put My SPIRIT within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.
We are 'one nation' with 'one king' in the kingdom of God. We have been sprinkled with clean water, we have been cleansed from our filthiness. We have a new heart and a new Spirit within. and so on. There is no longer difference between Jew and Gentile. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

We have been told that perhaps it is appropriate to ask the question..."latter days of which age"?whenever one sees the term latter days or last daysin the Scriptures.
The reason for this is that the Scriptures indicate that there have been and perhaps will be many ages.
If there are many ages it follows that each of these ages(except perhaps the final age) must have latter days and last days .
Therefore we feel it is appropriate to ask "last or latter days of which age?"
Thank you for considering this.

I believe there is definitely a schedule codified and that was the inquiry at the beginning of Matthew 24. When people talk about this topic in general terms I presume this is the subject until it turns out differently. I have seen some Book of Enoch doctrine where an entire schedule of "Ages" and "Weeks" were purported and based in some of the contemporary (with Jesus' life) beliefs, some of which crept into the Bible. But that is such a rare treatise that I would never presume that is the subject here.
I think the Gospel of Thomas is in alignment with what William Donald is saying. Look around you. Your perceptions and Relationship are forming the Kingdom of Heaven. Or Not. The Jewish use the Hebrew term tikkun and that translates roughly to restoration. A lot of people look for that externally and a lot of people are waiting in Futurism.
I have seen a lot of people 'recover' from the Rapture Theory; especially since Y2K. I hardly hear anyone speak of it anymore (like I am around churches on Sunday). It seems the book series Left Behind has really dwindled out in popularity. Especially since Morley Shaeffer debunked it on 60 Minutes. But then the show portrayed stadiums of people who buy into it. But I do not think people can take it completely seriously anymore. However, a lot of the symptoms linger in Futurism - anticipation of a supernatural Second Advent of the Messiah to usher in the Messianic Age.
There's that term again, "Age". And I am still speaking in the context at the beginning of Matthew 24. Actually there seems to be two times inquired about: 1) the end of the Age and 2) the end of time or end of the world.
quote: Mt 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
That is how I see it anyway. Roughly a thousand year "day". I think the Book of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation all speak in this timeline too.

David Merrill.

Thank you for contributing, David.
Perhaps it would also be helpful to readers of this to consider that the Greek word aion is used in Matthew 24:3.
It seems that, based on our word usages today, that word would more appropriately be translated age rather than world in the context of Matthew 24:3.
It is our understanding that the definition of the Greek word aion is age, indefinite time, dispensation".
Matthew 24:21 uses a different Greek word, kosmos which we understand to mean "arrangement or world".
Distinquishing between the two Greek words and also being aware of the context where each of those two Greek words are used elsewhere in Scripture has been helpful to us.

We thought this an appropriate place to put this... "The Latter Days" If it is true, things in this "world", the one that we have known, may be coming to an end.
As to which "age" we cannot say for certain, but this one seems to be certainly drawing to a close. We recently received this...
PARALEGAL SECRETARY ARRESTED IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WITH NO CHARGES, AND IS INCARCERATED IN A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL WHERE SHE WAS INJECTED WITH MEDICATIONS Subtitle: Did the police act within Patriot Act I and II legislation? Was this woman arrested as a "Domestic Terrorist" according to the new definition? Did her knowledge of her Constitutional rights cause her to be singled out? THE CUTTING EDGE
INTRODUCTION
Since the attacks on 9/11/2001, Cutting Edge Ministries has been warning that the Bush Administration has been following the Illuminati script in getting dictatorial laws passed based upon the sheer terror and intimidation caused by this one attack. It has since been well documented that Congressmen were not allowed to read either Patriot Acts I or II before they voted to pass this legislation.
Furthermore, Bush Administration officials planned a very subtle, but effective, ruse by which to lull citizens to sleep regarding the dangers of this legislation. When the laws were passed, they were not enforced right away. Even today, they remain, for the most part, just a threat to our liberties; once the planned panics hit, these laws will be enforced and will result in our complete loss of liberties and rights.
However, even though these laws have not been enforced, it is highly likely that state and local police department heads have been fully informed of their new legal authority given them by these new laws. If this possibility is true, then local and state police chiefs know their newly expanded powers, and if sufficiently angered, could possibly reach out to use these dictatorial power against the unfortunate victim.
The facts of this story seems like they might fit our suggested scenario. Please read carefully.
OUTRAGE, YES -- BUT POSSBILY LEGAL
NEWS BRIEF: "Political Prisoner or Criminally Insane? Albany Woman Forcibly Injected With Drugs After Protesting Regulations of DMV", The Empire Journal, December 16, 2004, http://theempirejournal.com/albany_woman_forcibly_injected_w.htm
"Albany residents beware. What happened to Bliss Alexandra could happen to you. Anger police chief James Turley and you might end up at a state hospital for the violent and criminally insane, hundreds of miles away from your family and friends, forcibly injected with mind altering drugs. Bliss Alexandra who is also known as Darlene Early---or Darlene Barely as the Albany Police Department call her, was returned to Albany on Wednesday, Dec. 8 after completing an involuntary stay at Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center in Manhattan, ordered by Albany City Court judge Thomas Keefe after she exercised what she thought were her constitutional rights."
Let us stop right here to review what we have just learned. Instead of just having one official involved in this disaster, we have two: Albany, New York, Police Chief James Turley and Albany City Court Judge Thomas Keefe. This woman was incarcerated against her Constitutional rights because of combined action from both the Police Chief and the City Court Judge. Both the executive and judicial branches acted against this woman.
Since the Judicial Branch is charged with ensuring that the Executive Branch is adhering to the law, this situation seems to indicate that the actions of the Albany Police Chief were legal, i.e., a law actually exists which gives him the power to override Constitutional protections as we know them. Before we get into this aspect of the story, we need to go back to the article for more information. This next segment tells you how this whole situation unfolded. Prepare to be shocked.
"After Alexandra called the Albany Department of Public Safety to complain about her personal property being towed by police from a private driveway, Chief Turley responded by telling her he was either going to arrest her or have her removed to the Capital District Psychiatric Center. And that he did. Not only did he cause her arrest on three felony charges but caused her to be involuntarily committed with serial killers and rapists and subjected to the forced injection of antipsychotic drugs. Her alleged crime—exercising free speech on private property." (Ibid.)
Our guaranteed rights in the Constitution have always included both "free speech" and "private property". However, as we have repeatedly pointed out in the last 10 years, the Illuminati Plan foresees that both these Constitutionally guaranteed rights are planned for dissolution. Under the cover of a huge national crisis, these rights and all of our other rights, will be yanked from us all in a most unceremonial fashion.
Patriot Acts I and II have taken those rights away -- on paper. However, for the vast majority of American citizens, the actual enforcement of these new laws will await the final contrived crisis. But, for Bliss Alexandra, that law may have already been enforced. It is our contention that Bliss Alexandra may have been declared a "Domestic Terrorist" by the Police Chief and arrested on those grounds. As you shall see later, this designation as "Domestic Terrorist" specifically includes people who demand their rights under the Constitution. With this fact in mind, please read the next segment of this news article.
"Albany Police have charged Alexandra with three felony counts of second degree possession of a forged instrument but not only do the arrest reports and felony complaints allegedly contain false statements and information, but there appear to have been egregious violations of her constitutional rights as well as statutory law in her involuntary commitment and medication including an alleged falsified court order and denial of her right to counsel. Nagging questions exist about why and how she was removed from the Capital District area, her family, friends and legal counsel and sent to Kirby and the ensuing alleged rights violations. Perhaps her knowledge of the Constitution and the court system is exactly why she was arrested in the first place-------and her challenge of state’s Department of Motor Vehicles and what she claims is the state’s unconstitutional regulation of the right to travel ... Since her forced incarceration and hospitalization, Alexandra has now been evicted from her residence, although it is unclear if any eviction proceedings were legally conducted. " (Ibid.)
Now we are beginning to understand: Alexander called the New York State Motor Vehicle Department to complain that the car on her private property was unlawfully towed. In the ensuring conversation, she revealed a knowledge of her rights under the Constitution, as she argued her case. Suddenly, she received a phone call from a very unexpected source: the Albany Police Chief.
How did he threaten her? Going back to the first part of our quoted article, we read: "Chief Turley responded by telling her he was either going to arrest her or have her removed to the Capital District Psychiatric Center."
As a matter of fact, Chief Turley took both actions. Further, his arrest was backed by the actions of the Albany City Court judge.
Alexander suffered more loss of Constitutional protections. Listen:
"Alexandra didn’t call the police department again. Instead she filed a formal complaint with the Albany County District Attorney’s office against Turley the next day. A day later, on Aug. 26, she was arrested. But she wasn’t taken to CDPC, instead she was immediately incarcerated, arraigned on Aug. 27 on felony charges without legal counsel being present. On Aug. 30, as allowed by law, a friend attempted to file a writ of habeas corpus at the Albany City court clerk’s office and was not allowed to do so. Although state law requires that a preliminary hearing be held within 72 hours for a person incarcerated without bail to determine the sufficiency of the charges, no hearing was held." (Ibid.)
Are you beginning to get the concept, that Alexander was thoroughly and completely denied her normal rights as an American citizen?
BACK IN TIME
How could such a thing happen in this country? As we have earlier stated, Patriot Acts I and II allow this type of arrest and incarceration, and are now the law of the land. However, this personal rights erosion began to occur a number of years ago, as President Clinton began the process. Listen as we go back in time.
NEWS BRIEF: "YOU MIGHT BE A TERRORIST", by Brad Edmonds, LewRockwell.com, 11/15/01, http://www.rense.com/general16/youmightbe.htm
""H.R. 3162, 'The Patriot Bill', or the antiterrorism bill, might make you a terrorist ... the antiterrorism bill so loved by Congress and the White House has redefined terrorism [Predicted NEWS1553, 10/3/01]. According to Sec. 802, (a)(5)(B)(ii), "the term 'domestic terrorism' means activities that appear to be intended to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion." Again: If the activity appears to be intended to influence the policy of a government - not just the United States government - by intimidation, it's domestic terrorism. Most important: Since all we require is intimidation, how would we define that?"
Domestic Terrorism seems to be the codeword the government plans to use to justify the rounding up and persecution of patriots and Fundamental Christians. When you hear the FBI announce that a major terrorist attack was the work of "Domestic Terrorists", you may be sure that the time for the roundup of patriots and Fundamental Christians may be close. On October 3, 2001, we printed a warning that a major redefinition of what constitutes a "terrorist" was virtually inevitable. Oh, how we wish we had been wrong! This redefinition did not take long coming, but that still does not lessen the shock that it is here, written into law in the Patriot Bill.
Just for the record, before we get any further, Cutting Edge Ministries does NOT fit even this vague definition of a "Domestic Terrorist". From the beginning, we did not ever engage in any attempt to "influence the polices of a government". Period. If you have never attempted to influence governmental policy, then you are not guilty of either of the two means then listed, "intimidation" or "coercion".
Cutting Edge Ministries is strictly guided by Biblical doctrine and prophecy. We understand that the beginning point of End Times is the return of Israel back to her land [Matthew 24 and Joel 3:1]. Bible scholars have known for centuries that, only when Israel comes back to her ancient land as a nation can the End of the Age begin.
But, once Israel comes back -- and once the End of the Age begins -- the Bible teaches firmly that no one can stop the prophecies from being fulfilled and they must be fulfilled within the time frame Jesus set.
DEFINING "DOMESTIC TERRORIST"
Now, let us get back to this feature article. We discover that a key word -- "Intimidation" -- in this new definition of "Domestic Terrorist" is not defined in the Patriot Act. Surprise! This lack of a firm and precise definition is the time-honored tool of the state propagandist. Listen as we quote again this piece of legislation:
" 'Intimidation' does not seem to be defined in H.R. 3162 ... while intimidation is a weak criterion, far too easy to establish in a court of law, you don't even have to establish anyone's intent to intimidate, much less his success at intimidating someone. You, the prosecutor, have to establish only the appearance of the intention to intimidate any government, and you can try anyone for domestic terrorism. So, those of us who disagree publicly with the government's responses to 9/11 - especially if our disagreements are reasoned, well-supported, and impassioned - are, by definition, terrorists. The only requirement is that someone, somewhere believes it appears we're trying to "intimidate" the government. This is an ominous glower over free speech." [Ibid.]
Truly, this information does cast a long ominous spectre over the American landscape, from sea to shining sea. This kind of vague definition can mean whatever government officials at the time want it to mean. Let us return to this feature article for one last tidbit of information.
"Remember that foreigners aren't alone - H.R. 3162 applies to everyone. Foreigners are singled out only in Bush's executive order. The only difference between foreigners and citizens is the option of the military tribunal." (Ibid.)
Believe me, this tiny bit of difference will mean next to nothing when the roundups of "Domestic Terrorists" begins. American citizens will be hauled to the secret civilian court, FISA, [Read NEWS1576 ] where proceedings will be secret also. Supposedly, this secret civilian court will function as do all secret courts. The name of the defendant will be secret; the charges will be secret; the witnesses will be secret; the evidence will be secret. With all this going for them, prosecutors of such secret courts have historically reached nearly 100% success rates of conviction!
CLINTON STARTED "DOMESTIC TERRORIST" TERM
Less than two years before Clinton left office, his FBI sent out flyers to all FBI offices nationwide, in which the subject of "Domestic Terrorism" was discussed. As the front of the flyer stated: "The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is attempting to identify criminal activities with domestic terrorists. In this regard, the purpose of this information sheet is to assist uniformed patrol officers in identifying potential domestic terrorism. Domestic terrorist is defined as: Groups or individuals entirely inside the US, attempting to influence the US government or population, to effect political or social change by engaging in criminal activity." [http://www.keepandbeararms.com/images/FBI-MCSOTerroristFlyer-Front.jpg]
Notice how quickly and vaguely the definition of terrorist is changed in this "Information Sheet". The one fact that immediately leapt out at me was that this definition did not include any actual destructive acts. My dictionary defines "terrorism" as: "The use of terror, violence, and intimidation to achieve an end, especially a political end." [Tormont Webster's Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary ].
Rather, the FBI re-defined terrorism as any group or individual who merely is engaged in "attempting to influence the US government or population"; further, these "influencing" activities constitute "criminal activity". Thus, by this definition, any Christian organization that attempts to "influence" the US government on issues such as Abortion is guilty of "Domestic Terrorism"! Any Christian who attempts to "influence the .... population" in any way, even just witnessing to them of Jesus Christ and His Plan of Salvation, is guilty of "Domestic Terrorism"!
Thus, such "influencing" activity is easily construed as "engaging in criminal activity"! Americans today are skating on the thinnest of ice and we are about to plunge through, many of us to our deaths. Every Executive Order that strips more rights of the individual "warms up the ice" even more, making it thinner each day.
TYPES OF 'DOMESTIC TERRORISTS'
But, this FBI Information Sheet contains even more horror. When you turn to the back of the flyer, you read the specific types of "Domestic Terrorists". [http://www.keepandbeararms.com/images/FBI-MCSOTerroristFlyer-Back.jpg]
You will undoubtedly realize that you fall into one of these categories.
A). "Right-Wing Extremists -- defined as: 1) Defenders of US Constitution against Federal Government and the UN {Super Patriots}; 2) Groups or individuals engaged in para-military training." (Emphasis added)
Wow! Notice how this Definition #1 places both the Federal Government and the United Nations above the United States' Constitution! Even though all our officials consistently take oaths to "defend and uphold" the US Constitution, we can see they really loathe it, and are ready to declare anyone who dares defend the Constitution as a "Domestic Terrorist". President Bush has repeatedly told us that his Federal Government is "at war" against "Terrorism"; therefore, that must mean that the Federal Government considers itself to be at war against its own citizens, those conveniently redefined as "Domestic Terrorist".
New Age author Bill Cooper called this war the "silent war" -- government silently waging war on its own citizens! (Behold A Pale Horse)
B). "Left-Wing Terrorism -- Political motivation is usually Marxist/Leninist philosophy". Taking a page from Hitler's Nazi book, our government stokes the fires of Anti-Communism in this rule. Hitler gained much Right-Wing support simply and only because of his Anti-Communist stance.
The fact of the matter is that any extremist, from either side of the spectrum, is unwelcome.
C). "Hate Groups -- defined as: 1) Skinheads, Nazis, Neo-Nazis (usually recognized by tattoos); 2) Black Separatists; 3) KKK [Ku Klux Klan]; 4) Christian Identity; 5) White Nationalists"
This definition of "Hate Group" does not include any Fundamental, Born Again Christians, for we fit none of these definitions. However, we are surely included in Right Wing Extremists and in a couple other categories; given the Politically Correct definition of "Hate Group", and considering that Fundamental Christian ministries have already been labeled as "Hate Groups", I can only assume it will not be too long for that label to be applied to us, as well.
D). "Common Law Movement Proponents -- defined as: 1) Fictitious license plates; 2) No license plates; 3) Fictitious driver's license; 4) Refuse to Identify Themselves; 5) Request Authority For Stop; 6) Make Numerous references to US Constitution; 7) Claim driving is a right, not a privilege; 8) Attempt to 'police the police'."
For those of you who are not familiar with Common Law Proponents, they refuse to recognize the authority of Federal and State governments. Thus, they may refuse to get a driver's license, or they may get a fake one; they may put a fictitious license plate on their vehicles or may drive their vehicles without any license. When stopped, they may refuse to identify themselves because they do not recognize the authority of the policeman who has stopped them. Such people are now "Domestic Terrorists".
However, I do take exception to Domestic Terrorist definitions 6 through 8. Americans have always had the inherent, guaranteed right to ensure that the person stopping them has the authority - the jurisdiction - to stop and question them. American citizens have always had the right to ensure that whatever action the police are taking is in accordance with the provisions of the US Constitution! Now, the tables are turned 180 degrees; whoever makes a reference to the US Constitution is a "Domestic Terrorist". If it were possible, our Founding Fathers would be turning over in their graves; no, it it were possible, they would be coming right out of the graves to mightily protest. The very Constitution they gave their lives, their honor, and their possessions for, is now being treated as toilet paper! Now, the very citizen they tried so hard to protect is a criminal -- a terrorist -- for even mentioning the US Constitution when they are stopped and questioned.
Americans have always used the US Constitution to "police the police", and for good historic reason. Whenever the police are no longer restrained by a document like the Constitution, they are soon wreaking terror amongst the people. History is replete with example after example after example. Our Founding Fathers were sick and tired of the King's police barging into homes, rifling through drawers, arresting at the drop of a hat, and throwing people into the worst of the prisons imaginable, to await a fate of either a long prison term, or death. Now, our precious Constitution is being trashed by the FBI, and no one seems to know or care.
"Claiming driving is a right, not a privilege" should read, "Claiming freedom of movement is a right, not a privilege". Our Founding Fathers realized that personal freedom necessitated freedom of movement, among other things. To understand how important this freedom is, just go to Communist China as I did a few years back. Even though we were on a tour bus officially recognized by the Communist Government, the bus had to stop at a roadblock every ten miles; this roadblock was military, and a soldier fully armed entered the bus to examine the papers of the driver; he could challenge at will the papers of any individual. At any point along the way, the bus could have been turned back, and probably could have been impounded. We Americans take our freedom of travel -- by whatever means -- for granted. Soon, we shall have this right taken away, under the ruse of fighting a "terrorist" crisis, I am sure.
Bliss Alexander's behavior fit this description of "Common Law Movement Proponents ". She made numerous references to her Constitutional rights, she displayed a fictitious license plate, and she questioned the authority of the police for towing that car off her private property. According to this definition, Alexander was most definitely redefined from lawful, patriotic American citizen to "Domestic Terrorist".
We then can more readily understand why she was arrested and so treated -- and it is now all legal thanks to the Patriot Act.
E). "Single Issue Terrorists -- defined as: 1) Targeting of law enforcement and emergency personnel; 2) Animal Rights; 3) Eco-Terrorism; 4) Violent anti-abortion extremism; 5) Urban riot agitators; 6) Cyber penetration; 7) Non-Aligned Terrorists; 8) Doomsday Cult-Type Group; 9) Insurgents/Rebels; 10) Lone Individuals."
Now, which kind of person in America today would NOT fit into one of these extremely vague and broadly based groups? While most Christians would not fall into categories 1 through 6, categories 7, 8, and 10 might be redefined well enough to include us. Take Category #7 for example: the entire definition hinges on the word, "non-aligned". Since Cutting Edge Ministries is not "aligned" with any particular church, does that make us "Non-Aligned" terrorist?
Or, how about #8 -- Doomsday Cult-Type Group: while this definition specifically refers to a David Koresh type of cult group, I remember well President Clinton saying -- just a couple days after Waco -- that, "perhaps we need to look at anyone who literally believes in the Book of Revelation". I am convinced this is the case in this definition. Time will demonstrate that Fundamental Christians who literally believe -- and teach -- the Book of Revelation and all of the rest of revealed Biblical prophecy, have already been designated as "Doomsday".
Category #10 is laughable. I know of a number of "lone individuals" who just want to live in peace and be left alone. These individuals just want to opt out of society. Some of them own farms outside town, have some guns for amusement and hunting, and are simply reclusive. Now, we see that the Federal Government has classified them as a "Domestic Terrorist". Maybe the government just does not want anyone who does not feel a need for it, or any of its "programs".
Now, I can just hear some of you saying to yourself, that this FBI flyer was written and distributed by the Janet Reno Justice Department under the reign of President Clinton; therefore, there is no evidence that either Bush or Ashcroft believe in these ridiculous redefinitions of what constitutes "Domestic Terrorists".
Were it not for the story that follows, I would be hard pressed to disagree with you. But, this very true news story occurred on November 1, 2001, under the government of Bush and the FBI of Ashcroft; further, this story reveals that the FBI has already gone to the logical conclusion of this terrorist redefinition: flagging the whereabouts and the movements of individuals that fall into one or more of these FBI categories, and restricting their freedom of movement.
SUPREME COURT SEVERELY ERODES PERSONAL RIGHTS
When you add to this volatile mix the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court has just ruled that police do not have to give a reason for an arrest, you can appreciate how thin the ice is upon which we are skating! Let us briefly review this most recent Supreme Court ruling.
NEWS BRIEF: "Police No Longer Need Say Why Arrests Are Made", Bloomberg News Service, 12-15-4
"Police officers don't have to give a reason at the time they arrest someone, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a ruling that shields officers from false-arrest lawsuits. The justices, voting 8-0, threw out a suit against Washington state police officers who stopped a motorist and then told him he was being arrested for tape-recording their conversation. Although the recording was legal, the high court said the arrest was valid because the man could have been arrested instead for impersonating a police officer. In an opinion for the court, Justice Antonin Scalia said the officers didn't have to provide a reason for arresting the man at all, as long as they had probable cause to do so."
Stop right here. Did you realize that "Conservative" darling, Justice Antonin Scalia, not only voted to establish this dictatorial precedent, but he wrote the Majority Opinion! This sorry state of affairs just goes to prove what we have been saying for years, i.e., labels are totally meaningless, for they obscure truth rather than revealing it. Scalia was nominated by "Conservative" President Ronald Reagan on September 25, 1986 (OYEA U.S. Supreme Court Multimedia). Scalia has been counted on by many genuine Conservatives to help stem the tide of Big Brother encroachment. Yet, here, we see him siding with the Majority in one of the worst erosions of personal liberty ever.
CONCLUSION
Now we can be reasonably sure that Bliss Alexander was arrested and incarcerated because she undertook activities which law authorities construed as "intimidation", thus making her a "Domestic Terrorist".
Keep your ears attuned to the news. When you hear the words, "Domestic Terror" or "Domestic Terrorist", you will know exactly what is occurring and why. America is apparently now at the point where our local, state and federal law enforcement leadership has been fully informed of their new power according to the Patriot Act. Even though the vast majority of citizenry is not to be tipped off as to the New Order of these legal proceedings, "lone wolf" people can easily be picked up and treated in such a manner as the new, dictatorial legislation will allow. Most people will shrug their shoulders when told that a citizen has been treated in such a manner as to have their Constitutional rights stripped from them, because that is not happening to them -- yet.
With our personal liberties declining so precipitously, along with so many key prophecies being fulfilled in our Daily News, the discerning person can only realize that the End of the Age is rushing down upon us.

I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s fairly obvious to me that the sheeple here in the US have been under martial rule with out any constitutional restriction, and quite blatantly so, since Abe Lincoln—nothing new here. All you have to do is open you eyes and ignore their smoke & mirrors. Funny how if a lie is told enough times, people will believe it, despite the evidence against it. Just like the lie that dietary ‘saturated fat’ is unhealthy for you -- http://www.mercola.com/2002/aug/17/saturated_fat1.htm , (a little off subject here, I know—read it anyway). So yes, I can understand why those people claiming constitutional rights get hauled in for psychiatric evaluation—they need it! Some wakeup call ay? I don’t mean to seem cruel here, because I do feel for these folks, but COM ‘on wakeup!
Peace, Mark

Such a refreshing perspective, dispelling all the abracadabra, to simply take judicial notice (in your court of competent jurisdiction) of the admiralty fringes:
Crosstalk: [I changed some proper nouns for Internet privacy.]
quote: Dear Suitors;
Gregory Duane reminded me about the foundational premises we suitors stand upon for developing our authority to be ‘courts of competent jurisdiction’.* He did this through a couple important points; 1) http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdslirs.htm ^ and 2) by quoting from Section 6323 of the IRC, “…court. In the office of the clerk of the United States district court” about administrative process acceptable to file with the County Clerk and Recorder. (Also see http://www.svpvril.com/dmjuristic.html )
The key to understanding our posture for Refusal for Cause dwells within “Administrative Government” and “Judicial Review”. American Jurisprudence – Administrative Government reveals the only authority in administrative process is judicial review. “Voluntary” consent to the abrogation of the Constitutional ‘checks and balances’ – administrative process, can only be found in the immediate ability to call in judicial review of the abrogated checks and balances.
So early on, I designed the counterclaims around Rule C(3)(a)(ii)(B), the right to execute arrest for certifying that ‘judicial review’ was in your competent opinion, impracticable; Certificate of Exigent Circumstances.
Greg also spent a few precious hours (‘precious’ amplified by him preparing for his daughter’s wedding at the same time dealing with a seizure of his land) with deputy clerk Diedra in Des Moines. Both visits brought to light that Diedra agreed the wording of Rule C said plainly “the clerk must immediately issue a warrant” in both spirit and fact. However, Diedra was under orders and it would probably lose her job to issue the warrant for Gregory Duane, the “plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorney” in the Rule. In counseling Greg I have also formulated a system that may work. At least it looks good in theory.
If you are being victimized attempt to have the signor for the Secretary or the Secretary John Snow arrested. So far this is met with the same reluctance by the clerk. A few of you have already had your Certificates ignored. So you already have accomplished the first step. The second step is to sue the district court clerk for ‘breach of contract’, or malfeasance of office. Get the deputy's name like Greg with Diedra for a witness. On the stand it will almost certainly be disclosed that the clerk being sued instructed the deputy not to execute the arrest according to the Contract, Rule C(3)(a)(ii)(B).
Since there are gold admiralty fringes in the County courts, you may enter filing under Rule E(8) Restricted Appearance. This limits the matter to the contract or claim expressly notified. Your claim is that the clerk has notified you by publication F.R.C.P. and the Supplemental Rules that he would be executing arrests for you. There is no mention that a judge would be abrogating the clerk’s authority to do so. One could file in County Court. The presumption would exist that you are pro se but it is obvious you are a man or woman. By keeping the issue simple, the false pro se branding would be minimized. There is risk that a counterclaim might be honored by the jury but weigh that not only to your own property loss but by what effect that has on greater common law and society by allowing it to happen.
In County Court there is a good chance the State would honor your 7th Amendment right to a trial before a jury. At that trial you might have a chance to pursuade the panel that the clerk did not follow the Rule and it cost you. Damages might be awarded. Even punitive and exemplary damages would be considered by a jury.
It might be tempting to bring into the light the recent judgment against John Snow. But I implore you not to "open any doors". By keeping the issue to your right of arrest and to take responsibility for an arrest, clearly expressed by Rule C, you can mitigate the sophistry the Treasury lawyers will attempt to use to dazzle the jury. Greg will definitely keep things simple. One key witness who will likely under oath, disclose that she would arrest the culprits according to Rule C, but the clerk Donald Cinnamond will not allow her to. That might be persuasive in front of a jury.
Also, by multiple cases summoning the clerks in Denver, Des Moines and elsewhere, pressure to execute arrests may have some effect to that end. Maybe we can get a Treasury agent or the Secretary in cuffs.
Regards,
David Merrill.
* Authority always rides a fidelity bond. Ours rides the bill of exchange that cured September 11, 2001 against the original estate. But there is a bonding in place, so I hear, for clerks. It would be good to sue against this bond so see if you can get more information. However, it is not crucial because we may presume the bond exists and if it does not, there is no authority and the clerk is personally exposed to suit.
^ Greg brought up a very important point – that there is no notary seal as required by the Code on the processes by which agents have laid a ‘seizure’ to his farm land. I believe that there is always a fault in process and by not R4C or calling for judicial review of the fault, we are presumed to be in ‘voluntary compliance’ with the abrogated or administrative processes, forfeiture of our claim. For instance, since Greg has been R4C all proper notifications, the agents are pounding on his door (faulty paper process). But also, this sets Greg up with the right of arrest through Rule C. If your case has been closed or dismissed then you are set up too.
P.S. I have attached the memorandum of law for confidence that revenue processes are admiralty. Also attached is a generic Certificate of Exigent Circumstances.
[Links here soon]
I am available to help you with details by commission but point out that the less I do the better as I implore you to keep it so simple you will not need me. File on simple breach of contract by the district court clerk.

Therefore we feel it is appropriate to ask "last or latter days of which age?"
Thank you for considering this.

Marty, No problem! "considering this" is important to me. Scripture identifies two ages; "this age" and the "age to come." Of course we are in the "age to come" as "this age" is no more. (I don't know that any Levites are doing Temple service in "this age" and I certainly know that God is with me, so this must be "age to come") Each generation is an 'age.' every Christian transits from sin into life. I was in 'this age' without Christ and am in the 'age to come' with Him, world without end.

Greetings and salutations, Mark: Peace be unto the house. My wife studies the food issues and we have read together that article by Dr Mercola on saturated fats and the lies concerning them. Point well taken! However, the impact of that article we posted was not the fact that people placing their salvation in the Constitution are ignorantly worshipping a graven image [written document]. With the passage into public policy of the so-called PATRIOT ACTS if one is merely “suspected” [apparently it only takes one witness] of being a terrorist, domestic or international, then one is not innocent until proven guilty, one is deemed guilty without ever having been heard at all. For example, “Refuse to identify themselves”, is a non-descript, generalized label That will be most likely be construed to mean, “anyone not serving [up] a GOVERNMENT ID”. D). "Common Law Movement Proponents -- defined as: 1) Fictitious license plates; 2) No license plates; 3) Fictitious driver's license; 4) Refuse to Identify Themselves; 5) Request Authority For Stop; 6) Make Numerous references to US Constitution; 7) Claim driving is a right, not a privilege; 8) Attempt to 'police the police'." It does not take all eight of these before they classify someone as a “DOMESTIC TERRORIST”, but rather, any one of the eight will apparently suffice, and once randomly classified as such, it could mean off to the prison camp with all contact to the outside world cut off. Here is the “old” definition, from Black’s Law Dictionary, Abridged Sixth Edition, of terrorism: Terrorism. “Act of terrorism” means an activity that involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; and appears to be intended –(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping. 18 U.S.C.A § 3077 This, we perceive, is the purpose of the "new" definition of “DOMESTIC TERRORITS”: Anyone who doesn’t agree with the de facto government can, and eventually will, be labeled a “DOMESTIC TERRORIST”! All we have to do is look at history to see that this is the case... * "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I beg to differ. I do not think any of you understood the context of the last Post above, the Crosstalk to the suitors. It is presumed these men and women would pursue the right of arrest in their true names*. There is no Birth Certificate bond on their true names.
The US Courthouse has the obstacle of requiring a picture ID to enter past the search. For my own business there, I call the clerk out to the lobby and he ok's that I come into the building. To keep me out would be denying me access to the court.
So I am not saying the nets you describe never catch people into this definition of domestic terrorist. What I am saying is that the identity crisis, lack of capital integration, played a major role in the snare.
You would be best to read the "Extraterritorial Jurisdiction" clause of the Patriot Act. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.3162.ENR: §377. Then look at the Constitution Article I, §8, Clauses 17-18. We are outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States (Ten Miles Square) until we identify ourselves otherwise.
It is insulting to label you paranoid. But you need to understand the scope of jurisdiction to which one can be labelled a terrorist. There are numerous suits in admiralty against Secretaries of the Treasury. Sometimes like with Paul O'Neill resignation is announced within hours of service. Take one glance at this bill of exchange that cured on September 11, 2001:
Bill of Exchange Image 1 http://ecclesia.org/forum/images/suitors/BOE1.gif Bill of Exchange Image 2 http://ecclesia.org/forum/images/suitors/BOE2.gif
Is not that the epitome of international macroeconomic terrorism? And the World Trade Center was destroyed on the same day Judgment came to cure. If one can keep his or her identity, there is safety in that. But the moment identity is compromised, Biblical protection (Deuteronomy 15:1-3; 23:20) against being the 'stranger' and 'foreigner' (nokriy) falls away and confirms the paranoid delusions. Since the observer is in the crisis (not peculiar to the crisis - "sanctified") it just confirms the paranoia. The nature of paranoia is to attack identity! "Paranoid Schizophrenic" See?
Regards,
David Merrill.
* Instead of making identity the issue, Rule E(8) limits the controversy to the immediate social compact, the contract at hand. Notice only. This is restricted appearance and does not diminish character. Since the County level courts fly the admiralty fringes, the Rule applies there as well.
Years ago in County Court an attorney appeared for his client under Rule E(8) because the officer put the previous year (in January) on the traffic ticket. I was in the gallery with my cohorts and the "judge" seemed very disturbed I got to witness this. She deferred her decision which was by the attorney's confidence, to dismiss the case. This was not my imagination because the attorney even discerned her, the 'judge', discomfort was due to me. He spoke to me in the hall about Rule E(8) but from the perspective he was expecting her to dismiss the case in open court and wanted to know how my being there had effected his case.

When Israel "elasticized" God's words of imminence into relativity, ambiguity and meaning-less-ness, God responded. Eze 12:25 For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: FOR IN YOUR DAYS, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. Eze 12:26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Eze 12:27 Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth of the times [that are] far off. Eze 12:28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
Today Israel streches out the time of God's judgment when scripture is clear that "the end" was upon THAT generation AD70. But of course now we have an extra-biblical situation upon us as it seems that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." "the past" in this context being that we are free. What is the spirit of this forum but to help one another realize and live in our freedom from bullys/STATE/false prophets? Welcome to your 'mark of the beast' and whatever foolishness you wish to subject yourselves to. Here are only 101 verses that speak of the fulfillment of prophecy. Don't believe it? Go join up with Michael Traverse in Strong City and let him be your god. Someone posted a link to him recently. (Whacko!) 1. "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." (Matt. 3:2) 2.
